001ways he understands all parts of it and things need to be worked out don't they sure we had a error there in the streaming I had to reload it okay on page eight another part of our discussion was or that specifically wasn't a part of our discussion but we did talk about Hope Scholarship accounts and the the idea that those accounts should be institutions in the state of West Virginia um and then there's language in policy that requires public schools and public charter schools to be in compliance with the student data accessibility and transparency and accountability act uh pursuant to 1825 of this code and what that what it means is that they have to do public reporting of uh they have to do public reporting of their data um good just like CH public
002Charters and and like the public schools have to do so that was one of the things that we had discussed that evening was uh about that that data should be accessible for parents when they're making their choices on where their kids are going to go to school sure I'm glad that somebody in there where I read that uh they wanted to try to you know make sure that it was in state like like in Fort Gay area we're bleeding a bunch of people to is that a charter school in Louisa or what is that private school private private school so I any concerns with any of that language I don't think that's going anywhere but that was that is what some of the discussion that we did have that evening and then on page 14
003this actually came from the U Association of school administrators this is they proposed to some of the legislators regarding the compulsory School attendance laws and what it does deals with is and it the changes start on page 16 and it talks about homeschool homeschooling and that so has this not been introduced yet I don't think so I think that they're looking for somebody to ince sponsor yeah that's what I figured and so I'll be honest I there's a few things in here that I don't think need to be in there um but there is some things that we did discuss that evening and so anyway it talks about the having a having a tell phone number so that there's a there's contact information for those students and then um it talks about on page 17
004having testing at each grade level I'd rather keep it simple and go grades three through 3 through eight you know General sum of assessment and 11 the the uh sat and but this talks about using those bench and it's actually the data that Nikki presented to us earlier that the students should be participating in those benchmark assessments that those particular grade levels and then also participating in the GSA at the other grade levels I do think it's important that there's annual testing that takes place page 18 just talks about and this already exists if if those if those results are not turned in then um the county Boards of Education are actually able to petition the courts to ask for the kid to be the kidss to be re-enrolled page 19 it does mention here
005for home instruction may consider appropriate subject to normal registration and attendance requirement so it it talks about students being able to enroll to attend any class offered by the County Board inclusive of tuition calculated per credit or course that would be that would be one that I would disagree with yeah you know I understand if the student is um on the Hope Scholarship but if they're not on the Hope Scholarship we've never charge tuition for participation in courses and and pay taxes live in the district they want to access a course they should be able to access a course so and then the only other changes in 23 and again it just goes over those testing requirements so again this is act this has already been proposed I think to legislators all across the state
006so I'm not proposing we do anything with that but I just wanted to show you that some of the things that we did discuss that meeting are being proposed elsewhere so I think the the key will be the on the Community Schools legislation what we talked about up front getting that all and so I'll work markk I'll work on the final draft on that within the next 48 hours and then we'll get it over to Senator f as will say you don't even really have to have anything very just your idea what you want to see in it and then there's a whole bill writing process up there that the lawyers will do it from there then they'll give it back to him and then he can see if that's what you want or not
007okay don't stress yourself over you know giving me the general idea very good very good and then Dennis mention there while we were while we were on break um or when we had the technical difficulties there Dennis mentioned about the legislation regarding shrinking the yeah 11 districts shrinking down to 11 school districts in the state of West Virg done so I don't I'm I'm not sure that there's been any progress there with that particular bill there's a lot of things to think about with that you know you've got your access lobes that each County approves what happens with those funds how are those funds handled you have you have different a big can of worms I tell you you have different pay schedules in a number ofs yeah as I understand what proposed it would
008be five counties in each of those 11 districts and each County would have two members two Representatives as big as canaa is you're going to group four little counties with canaa tell Canal you only get two out 10 votes yeah I don't see that happening strange things happen though I'm just I'm H honest with that's all I have all right tal items or future agendas just the things that we've talked about this evening we'll come back with contracts and proposals for the building assignments okay motion to adjourn by johnan second second by all in favor I any post motion carries 5 to Zer 7:35 thank you a long day I sure will the have we were up to 10 at one point oh my god wow
